최근 들어 급증하고 있는 해양 충돌 사고 증가의 원인은 선박을 조종하는 항해사의 잘못된 판단 에 의한 부주의가 대부분이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 가장 적극적인 방법은 선박에 자동화 및 지능화를 부여하여 항해사의 실수를 최소화하는 것이다. 대표적인 연구는 선박의 자율운항시스템(autonomous navigation system)이 있는데, 이는 선박운항에 있어 항해계획을 수립하고 현재의 선박의 상태를 파악하여 선박을 적절히 제어하는 항해 전문가시스템이다. 선박 자율운항시스템은 실세계의 선박에 장착되어 실험하여야하나, 선박은 고가의 운송수단이고, 자율운항시스템을 장착하기 위한 하부장치 인터페이스를 설계 및 구현에 많은 시간이 소요되므로 실제 선박을 모방하는 선박시뮬레이터를 이용하는 방법이 타당하다. 선박시뮬레이터는 선박의 물리적 운항특성을 모방하는 선박운동시뮬레이터와 선박 운항 주변에 변화하는 장애물을 시뮬레이터 하는 주변 객체시뮬레이터로 구성된다. 본 연구에서는 선박 운항 주변에 등장하는 장애물 변화를 시뮬레이션하고, 이에 기반한 ARPA RADAR를 모의 가동하는 주변객체시뮬레이터를 개발한다.

The effects of inner liquid sloshing on vessel motions are a well-known factor. It was investigated experimentally and numerically. In this regard, the study of many efforts to reduce natural phenomena of vessel motions by adopting special devices especially for roll motions. Among many devices, inserting baffles in the inner liquid tank is very common. In this study, one investigated the vessel motions with inner sloshing tanks with baffles inside. For the numerical simulation, one employed a dynamically coupled program between boundary-element-method-based vessel motion analysis program and a particle-based computational fluid dynamics program. Comparing corresponding experimental results validated the dynamically coupled program. The validated coupled program was used to simulate vessel motions, including sloshing effects with various lengths of inner baffles. The simulation results show that not only the filling ratio of inner liquid, but also the length of clearance due to baffles influenced the vessel motions. The significant point of this study was that the natural frequency of vessel motions can be maintained irrespective of the amount of filling ratio through adjustment of the clearance. In a future study, the effects of various numbers of baffles with various clearances would be conducted to percuss the possibility of vessel motion control with inner liquid sloshing effects.

A simple kinematic model for the prediction of ship manoeuvres based on trial data is proposed in this study. The model consists of first order differential equations in surge, sway, and yaw directions which simulate the time series of each velocity component. Actually instead of sea trial data, dynamic model simulations are conducted with randomly varied control inputs such as propeller revolution rates and rudder angles. Based on learning of control inputs and velocity outputs of dynamic model simulations in sufficient time, kinematic model coefficients are optimized so that the kinematic model can be approximately reproduce the velocity outputs of dynamic model simulations with arbitrary control inputs. The resultant kinematic model is verified with new dynamic simulation sets.

제한수역에서 측벽부근을 대형선박이 항행할 경우, 측벽으로 인하여 발생하는 유체력이 대형선박의 조종운동에 상당히 크게 영향을 미친다는 것은 잘 알려져 있다. 이 논문에서는 방파제형상을 하고 있는 측벽 부근을 대형선박이 항행하는 경우, 선박과 방파제 형상간의 간섭력 추정을 위해 세장체 이론을 토대로 한 계산 방법을 적용하였으며, 선박에 미치는 측벽의 영향을 파악하기 위하여 방파제길이, 방파제와 선박간의 거리 및 수심을 변수로 하여 선박과 측벽과의 간섭력을 수치 계산하였다.

In this paper, Artificial Neural Network(ANN) is applied to automatic berthing control for a ship. ANN is suitable for a maneuvering such as ship's berthing, because it can describe non-linearity of the system. Multi-layer perceptron which has more than one hidden layer between input layer and output layer is applied to ANN. Using a back-propagation algorithm with teaching data, we trained ANN to get a minimal error between output value and desired one. For the automatic berthing control of a containership, we introduced low speed maneuvering mathematical models. The berthing control with the structure of 8 input layer units in ANN is compared to 6 input layer units. From the simulation results, the berthing conditions are satisfied, even though the berthing paths are different.

A mis-handling of the ship operators, treated as one qf the main causes of a ship accidents, normally has caused a ship to collide with obstacles like a reef, a rock and other ships etc. since their ability has been declining little by little even though the port conditions have been getting worse. The ship needs a highly sophisticated technology as her size and speed increase as the ship have been demanded. For example, Auto Avoidance Control System gradually has been receiving a growing interest to control the entire ship safely. From that purpose, this research has been done. The research was based on the MMG mathematical model, used Surge-Sway-Yaw-Roll motion equation and Fuzzy theory for calculating the collision-risk Also the research successively was done when the ship encountered continual multitude ships.

One practical method has already been proposed for predicting the characteristics of ship manoeuvring motions at relatively high advance speed [19]. Howeverf, this method can hardly be applied to motions of ships in starting, stopping, backing and slow steaming conditions, even though such extensive motions are of vital importance from a safety point of view particularly in harbour areas. The method presented here aims at predicting the characteristics of ship manoeuvring at low advance speed, which covers starting, stopping, backing and slow steaming conditions. The force mathematical models at large angles of incidence to the hull as well as under the wide range of propeller operations are formulated. Simulations of various manoeuvres at low advance speed are carried out for two types of merchant ship, I.e. a LNGC and a VLCC. Comparisons between simulations and corresponding full-scale measurements [10], [15] or free-running model tests [6],[10] provide a first verification of the proposed mathematical models.

To design ship channel is one of important factors for planning and developing a port. In most case, the core factors for designing ship channel are the layout and width of channel provided the net underkeel clearance is secured to be safe enough to pass. In this study, Variable Bumper Area(VBA) model is applied to design and assess ship channel. This model reflects ship's particular, ship domain theory, ship speed and mariner's ship handling skill and experience, especially external forces which cause leeway, set and drift and the change of ship maneuvering characteristics. A real time, full mission shiphandling simulator is used to analyze ship dynamic data according to mariner's ship control, external forces, ete. This model defines Domain degree and Domain-index for assessing the efficiency and safety of the channel. The proposed model is applied to Ulsan new port plan which has a channel width of 1.5 times the length of the largest vessel, a radius of 5 times the length of the largest vessel in a curve of 57 degree centerline angle and SBM facility adjacent to the lateral edge of channel. The result of this study shows that the width of the channel and radius of channel curve are suitable for the target ship but the difficulty of ship handling is caused by the large course change and SBM located in the vicinity of channel.

In the near future, autonomous ships, ships controlled by shore remote control centers, and ships operated by navigators will coexist and operate the sea together. In the advent of this situation, a method is required to evaluate the safety of the maritime traffic environment. Therefore, in this study, a plan to evaluate the safety of navigation through ship control simulation was proposed in a maritime environment, where ships directly controlled by navigators and autonomous ships coexisted, using autonomous operation technology. Own ship was designed to have autonomous operational functions by learning the MMG model based on the six-DOF motion with the PPO algorithm, an in-depth reinforcement learning technique. The target ship constructed maritime traffic modeling data based on the maritime traffic data of the sea area to be evaluated and designed autonomous operational functions to be implemented in a simulation space. A numerical model was established by collecting date on tide, wave, current, and wind from the maritime meteorological database. A maritime meteorology model was created based on this and designed to reproduce maritime meteorology on the simulator. Finally, the safety evaluation proposed a system that enabled the risk of collision through vessel traffic flow simulation in ship control simulation while maintaining the existing evaluation method.

The collisions of vessel at sea show high among the whole marine accidents. Especially, the accidents of fishing vessels take the largest portion of the collisions. Therefore, a technique to reduce these accidents should be developed. The automatic control for avoiding collision suggested in this study consists of two steps. The first is recognizing collision risk with fuzzy Theory and the other is maneuvering the model ship on the basis of collision risk calculated from the first step. The information form the position and estimated time of collision point(DCPA and TCPA) is used to assess the collision risk. To verify this system, a fishing vessel was simulated according to MMG mathematical model. The simulations result shows quite good application in avoiding the collision of ship.
